everything is fading

Antonioni uses the lens to construct a vast and lonely painting, the figures eroding the painting like ink-stained flaws

At the beginning of the movie, men and women break up, and the heroine is determined, but hesitant

Why did you break up with your infatuated boyfriend? The plot does not intend to give answers

In the stock exchange, the sky is boiling, the next step is to plummet and lose money, and the flowers are blooming in just a short moment

The heroine is not interested in love, let alone making money

Just say goodbye to old love, new love seems to be indispensable

Kissing or even sleeping is not "I love you"

The men are fascinated, but the heroine is still confused, is she playing? no

What impresses me the most is the intimate date between the male and female protagonists, and the male protagonist hangs up all the phones in the room

This is a match for not looking at your phone when dating today

However, saying goodbye at 8 p.m. turned into a 7-minute empty scene at the end of the movie

The relationship between you and me, the happy old times between mother and daughter, girlfriends, the sudden wealth, the calm international situation...

Everything is slowly fading, I want to do something, but I don't know what to do. At eight o'clock in the evening, they won't see each other again, right?

    Antonioni is a complete idealist, and the repressed silence in the last seven minutes shattered all the beauty that had just happened. This is already the strongest and most beautiful story in the love trilogy. I didn't expect Europe to be ahead of us for so many years. We are only starting now for things that people have been proud of in the 1960s.

    The metaphor is a little deliberate, but still meaningful. Beautiful composition and scheduling. The indifference of love (fans, concrete buildings, desert-like ground), the passion (green shade, stocks) and the ephemeral (airplanes, buckets, night lights). The stock trading is likened to love pros and cons, silence, flowers, rescue and powerlessness. Wild passion and human complexity are forever intertwined (site construction, black people). "I don't know why you came to me" "I just want to love you more"
